    Public libraries

    They are a literal treasure trove of information and resources if you know how to use them.

    It’s why I’m gonna donate to them once I can find or make a tech job/company

      Best part about them is that various ones might have more than just books. Someone already mentions databases, but I’ve seen DVDs at one in my town and I know I’ve heard of them lending tools and certain appliance as well.

      Ours gives us access to a number of online databases. I use the Chilton database for automotive repair procedures, specs, and wiring diagrams.
